Share this story

It’s no secret that wallpaper can really elevate your space. It has the power to make a room feel so much more put together. In a nursery, wallpaper can instantly take a space from blah to wow. And the good news is there’s no pressure to choose something super specific for a baby’s room—you can select a grown-up wallpaper that will grow with your wee one. Look for something that’s not too sugary sweet or trend focused, and it will last through all of the stages of life.
